Greek restaurants at Meanam and Chaweng

UPDT 1, Fall 2012. Restaurant on Maenam still works, the name is the same, the cuisine is originaly Greek, and not only.The prices are higher. Judging by the reviews – the food is good. Therefore I am not removing the article yet.

UPDT 2 on November 30, 2012.Oi and Christo gave this place to some of their friends, and have opened a new one called "Fi".Located near the Tesco Chaweng.It is simple to find: standing on the ring road, facing the Tesco, on the right hand there is a road up hill, following this road after 200 meters on the right hand there will be the restaurant. Prices are high. The food is as tasty - Greek and Thai.In the gallery, after pictures with delivery there are photos of a cafe on Chaweng.UPDT 3 on August 31, 2013.Oi and Christo are back to the restaurant at Maenam. They made some repairs and changed the name. Now it's a restaurant called Mythos ("Myths" - in Greek). So now they have two restaurants - "Fi" at Chaweng and "Mythos" at Maenam.Original article from 2011Today (12/10/2011) we went to the Greek restaurant opening!Dasha (she has lived for many years in Greece, recently moved to Koh Samui, and became the manager of the restaurant) invited everyone so we came.As it turned out, I never tried Greek cuisine before. Even Kebab on Samui was Turkish both times :)I'll tell you a bit of the background.A Greek named Christo arrived to Samui (usual Greek name, by the way), married a Thai woman named Oi.Decided to start a business.Travel agency and restaurants. All by the road.

Then he invited a chef from Greece, who taught his Thai wife how to cook while she was working with him in the kitchen.Then, even before the crisis in Greece, the chef left, and Oi being left alone decided to close the restaurant.And then from Greece came Dasha (she had been living there 6 years).Have you seen Dasha?Dasha has thousands of ideas and a lot of energy!In general, Dasha tasted what Oi was cooking and realized that it was too early to bury such talent.

ovens, grills, deep fryer (all is installed right behind the bartender, so the process of cooking is going on literally in front of the customers), the uniforms with the logo of a cafe, and a menu in a wooden cover:

Finding the restaurant is easy – it is located in the center of Maenam, on the side of the ring road towards the sea. There will be the restaurant sign hanging from above:

At the entrance – you will see this

And next is the sign of their travel agency:

I realy liked the interior.Simple but tasteful:

The girl in the striped shirt is Dasha. Even on this pic one can see that she is always on the move :)

In the smoking and drinking area there are modest maiden:

All that I have had time to capture to show you before came the others who also read the announcement about the opening.In all, there were about 20-25 people not less. Well, now let me tell you about the main reason of why we came - the Greek food.This is moussaka:

And those are kebabs, tortillas "Peta" and the very “tzatzIki” (a sauce based on unsweetened yogurt)Oi makes Pita bread by herself.Here on the photo it is not very clear, but the portions were just huge!And the menu itself:

For today we had a special-offer - a few sets that were more favorable to order together than separately:

Such special-offer Dasha promised to do every week on Sundays.UPDT:Indeed, on Sunday there was a new special-offer and new dishes: sudzukakya (minced meatballs in tomato sauce, plus a side dish) and very tasty chicken with potatoes (in the menu it was simply listed - chicken and potatoes).Here it is:

The most delicate! The meat just melts in your mouth ... I recommend!
